Funny you say that about reading and remembering, I was just talking to one of my friends about LLI (Low Latent Inhibition), it isn't so much that I remember what I read, its that make connections between everything and incorporate it into my knowledge--even that's not a good description. But one example when I was talking about PCM vs. DSD, I can "see" the possible waveform plots created by the encoding process in my head.
I'll expound about this a little more over at the 'Cooler.

Just ordered mine today. $499.00 from Oppo. I love the fact that it plays SACD and DVD-Audio. I was hoping that a Blue Ray player would combine these at some point and Oppo sounds like the new standard for these players. Now, the wait begins.

I bought a Marantz 5003 AVR that I am using with TWO Outlaw power amps. In addition I was fortunate enough to be on the Oppo BDP83 pre-order list and have had it for about a month now. A wonderful player that, as mentioned, also plays SACD thru DSD in which my Marantz AVR can process with, of course, the HDMI hook-up. I have tried both the PCM AND DSD input from the player and although I have not done critical listening for any length of time, the DSD is a little louder and I don't have the apparent noise issues mentioned in the posts. It could be the particular unit that's doing the processing. I know it is not the player.

Can anyone recommend a good rock/alternative SACD other than Pink Floyd. I haven't been able to find any that I would listen to on a regular basis.
I do have The Blue Man Group DVD-Audio disc, and can't wait to give it a listen.
Thanks.

Cam, go on Amazon and search "sacd", you'll get over 4000 results....there's gotta be somethin' in there for you!

I agree with Dire Straits-Brothers in Arms, Diane Krall Union Station is another great one. It's to bad you are not interested in Pink Floyd, DSOTM is one of the best SACDs I've ever heard.

If you look at Oppo's website, particularly the "support" section you will probably understand why most look forward to this company's products. A "Public Beta Test"(June 11) is already in place for further upgrades to the BDP83 particularly related to DVD Audio and other generally related operational items. They are talking about improvements to the player that, myself having had one for a few weeks, didn't even realize there was issues. As it turns out, there aren't any, they just want to make it even better.
